A Bit About Pink Calcite

Pink calcite, also known as manganoan (or mangano) calcite, is a beautiful variety of calcite with a soft pink hue. Its chemical composition includes calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with traces of manganese that give it its distinctive color. Pink calcite exhibits UV fluorescence, glowing under ultraviolet light, due to the presence of these manganese impurities. This UV reactivity sets pink calcite apart from other calcite varieties that lack these specific trace elements. Pink calcite is mined in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Mexico, and the United States. These rich deposits are carefully extracted to create stunning specimens for collectors and enthusiasts.

This pink calcite cluster is a WYSIWYG.

For those who are unfamiliar with WYSIWYG, it means: What You See Is What You Get. Pieces identified as WYSIWYGs are not a random pull of stones that are similar to the one(s) pictured. Instead, you receive the actual piece that is pictured.

If you love this cluster, you will love this heart.

Please Note:

  1. Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
  2. The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
  3. Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
  4. Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
  5. UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights. If you do use a 365nm light, please take care to use eye protection.
